PHILLIES: Cole Hamels finally got a fucking win in his last outing. He’ll get another one tonight by taking a dump on the chest of the Brew Crew. Graphic, but the only way his forthcoming dominance tonight can be explained. Ryan Braun might homer off him though. But, fuck it.

Chris Capuano 2-2 (5.06 ERA)

BREWERS: Uhm, this guy sucks pretty bad. Last time out he gave up 6 runs and didn’t get out of the 4th inning against the Pirates. That bad. I couldn’t think of a way to make fun of him since he does such a good job doing it himself. So there’s a picture of him going all “Michael Keaton in Multiplicity”. Enjoy.

Why is everyone so high on Dominick Brown? Has he really showed enough to justify letting Jason Worth walk away in free agency? That’d be another huge Amaro blunder.

I went to K-Mart and saw that guy

T-Mac looks like Eminem with that beanie.

Boobs

ohhh FanSince09, you tickle me. I love people who don’t understand you.

KruksLeftNut

Well maybe not the Cleveland Steamer Chris et al envisioned earlier, but I would say Cole definitely sharted and (in honor of Hispanic culture night) Contreras used it to apply a Dirty Sanchez so far. Let’s see if Maddog can come in and lift his leg on the Brew Crew for some shut out humiliation.

CTM

OK, I’m willing to attribute that catastrofuck of offense to the quick turnaround of coming home from Denver. But Madson? Mess this up and I have a chair with your name on it.

FanSince09

Madsen doesn’t have a closer mentality, why the hell is he in there

PhillyPhanInIthaca

FanSince09 is good at what he does. Just don’t do it so much. It’s hard to appreciate it.

CTM

Faaaaaaaaaantastic. Now hopefully the fish don’t keel over.

FanSince09

Phan, I only post when that faget Coal Hammel pitches or when the best young pitcher in baseball, Mr. JA Happ shows why he’s the next Cliff Lee

ThinkRed

Fuck the Braves.

PhillyPhanInIthaca

Haha. Terrific.

Dubee Dubee Du

Oh the beauty of the well rounded team. Capable of outslugging the Rockies in Coors or out pitching anybody else, anywhere else. With a month to go to get the timing at the plate down, it’s feeling winnerish.

Cole Hamels

awhawwww yeah

Dubee Dubee Du

I hope for Happ’s sake he doesn’t become the next Cliff Lee. Those numbers TID put up doesn’t look like something J.A. would want to replicate.

I went to K-Mart and saw that guy

I thought my question was more in the rhetorical side.

Dubee Dubee Du

Dan Plesac just gave Ed Wade a big slobbering attaboy on MLBTV Fawning over how the Astros have improved their record by 6 games since mid May. Made me say “so fucking what?”
So Ilooked it up and actually since the last week in July they improved by 10 games, so OK that’s impressive but I wouldn’t give Ed Wade much credit for that, more the players performing over their heads. Now if they want to give Wade credit for helping the Phillies, I’ll buy that.

Dubee Dubee Du

6 active pitchers have a career ERA of 2.76 or lower in September (min. 20 starts). 3 play for the Phillies (Hamels, Halladay, Oswalt).

Hammel just seems to be turning back into the dominate player we saw from 2008.

FanSince09 has been a fan since 2009. It’s a schtick. It’s funny. Get it?

I keep hitting this horse, but I’m not sure if it’s dead or not.

TonyIsDynamic

The thing with it is, you don’t wear it out too much.

Cole Hamels pitching 7 innings and not giving up any runs isn’t a good time to burn out a good FanSince09 post. I’m sure even a “fan since 09″ would appriciate Cole’s start tonight.

It’s all about timing. And if the horse wasn’t dead, I sure killed it!

Define “AWESOME”: Last minute free tix bring me to a Phils game wherein – despite an abysmal RISP% – King Cole wins a 1-0 Shutout & the Phils close to within one game of the Division Lead, a desire to celebrate leads to a spur-of-the-moment stop for drinks at Delilahs, which in turn leads to a lap dance/free Champagne Room/Digits from a girl I went to highschool with.

Once in a while i find myself navigating the radio waves and stubble on some fake fantasty hero whining about mcnabb, hamels or howard strik’n outtt yo. These are the same fakes who used to whale “da phils dunt spend enuf monies!!” now they cry, “dey raised my prices agaiiin angelooooo.”

I dont even know how to form a rational opinion. I just feel violent every time i hear that standard 40-some year old style WIP caller with awful advice and the secret to winning. Probably the same dad at the batting cages who yells at his kid “elboww up son, ELBOW UP!!” stfu assholes.

Eric

It’s game like this that convince me many people don’t even watch or listen to the games. It’s not like our offense didn’t show up tonight. We had plenty of runners early, but if you don’t get a timely base hit, the run total will be low. Capuano was horrible on the mound, but got Chooch to line into a double play. If that ball is 16 inches in either direction it’s a 2 run single and the rally is on. After that inning, the Brewers brought out two guys I’ve barely heard of, but both had a 2.8 ERA and pitched accordingly. I know it’s cheesey to say ITS THE YEAR OF THE PITCHER! but damnit, every team has arms that are untouchable this year. Would it be nice to put up 10 runs every game? Sure, but it’s about time to realize that’s not going to happen. Maybe instead of shitting on our lineup, you could point out how brilliant Amaro was to realize the changing dynamic of the NL and to pick up Oswalt.

Oh, and I was at the game last night. Love well pitched games, but damn are they boring to sit through.

Bobby D

Just reading a Braves blog, came across this little nugget of fried gold in the comments section:

“Wild Card
The Phillies are really playing well, and we suck on the road. It might be time to start paying attention to the Giants games. We’ve pitched well this season, but other than Hudson our starting pitching has been Jeckle and Hyde recent

Now if there were a show called, “How Cole Hamels Got Me Some Stink on My Hang-Down”….

“How I Met Your this Chick in Highschool then Didn’t See Her for 10 Years then Played with her Boobies and then the Phils Won the World Series”

Yeah, that’s the ticket.

Undocorkscrew

After tonight the Braves and Phillies will be tied in the standings. Not too worried, as we never beat the Fish on the road. Kind of seen this coming for the past week or so.

You guys just better hope you’re up 1 or 2 games before the final series of the season. But as long as the Braves make the playoffs, I can’t complain. Not expecting a world championship(nor do I ever), but this team is looking like it’s going to be sticking around for a while.

Cole Hamels Diary

“Friday, September the Third, 2010-

Dear Diary,

Had a good game earlier tonight, little tired to write much. Offense didn’t seem to offer a lot of support. The Fightins hasn’t even bothered to post a game recap, probably won’t get to one for a couple days. Can’t seem to find the love anywhere. Need a hug, will look for Sweeney first thing in the clubhouse tomorrow.

-Coley”

Bobby D

Yep, yep, yep. I wasn’t posting here last night because I took my girlfriend to the ball game. You wouldn’t know anything about that though, ya dick. Many people don’t sit in front of a computer on Friday night of Labor Day weekend.

Bozo

I find it funny how Undo is like “you better hope you are up 1 or 2 games” when the Braves haven’t faced the entire Phillies team all year.

1st and 2nd Phillies and Braves series- J-Roll out in both, Polanco misses some time cause Tim Hudson is a piece of shit

3rd Phillies and Braves series- J-Roll out again

4th Phillies and Braves series- Chooch with a concussion, Polanco out because Tim Hudson is a piece of shit, Utley out cause of thumb

Undocorkscrew

@Bozo….

Yeah, you’re team is fully healthy. The offense is scaring me to death. 1 run against Chris Capuano, mate. The offense still isn’t clicking, despite being fully healthy. The pitching is carrying this team and you know it.

Also, the Braves have the best home record in baseball. I don’t see them losing the last series of the season, regardless of if it’s Halladay, Oswalt, Hamels pitching. Doesn’t matter. So yeah, just hope they’re up before the series starts.

This injury excuse is getting old, mate. The offense wasn’t clicking before the injuries and it’s not clicking afterwards.

Bozo

There’s more to having a fully healthy team than just offense. Defense is just as important… oh wait, that’s something you and the Braves probably don’t know about.

Bobby D

@ undocorkscrew

1 run against Andrew Miller, mate.

Bozo

And didn’t Kawakami have the only RBI? Good point dude.

Mike P

@Undo

I’ve seen the Braves’ home/away splits, but if they’re counting on taking 2 of 3 from the Phils with Doc, Oswalt, and Hamels taking the hill in the final weekend, they’d better be saying their prayers and preparing for disappointment. The Braves one saving grace in that series is that there’s a very good chance they’ll get to face either Kendrick or Blanton. That awful outing in Colorado aside (in all fairness, none of the pitchers on either team looked good in that game, even relatively reliable pitchers like Durbin), though, Blanton has been very, very good in the 2nd half.

I said a few months ago that if the Braves could hold a 4-game lead into the start of September, the Phils would be in a tough spot. Well, the lead is down to 1, Chase and Howard look like they’re getting their swings back, and I think the Braves are in deep trouble. With so many head-to-head games in the final 2 weeks of the season, anything can happen, but as a Phillies fan, I’m very upbeat about the Phils’ chances of putting together another September run and coming back to take the division.

Keegan

With our records the way they are, even if we overtake the lead in the East, we’re still probably playing Braves in the NLDS because they’ll take the wild card right?

Now, we’ve played the wild card the last three years in the NLDS but i didn’t know again if that was records and just a coincidence or if that was just what the East did every time while the West played the Central.

Someone clarify?

Adamr14

You cant play someone in your division in the divisional series

will.H

wait, the offense isn’t clicking? That’s good news.. being 1 game out of first with a faulty offense. I bet their dicks turtle when the braves fans watch the phils offense “click.”

Milksteak

@ will: they don’t turtle, they become full on vaginas

Mac Aoidh

112:

“A Milwaukee miscommunication led to the game’s only run. Center fielder Lorenzo Cain and left fielder Ryan Braun converged on a Shane Victorino fly ball, but it dropped between them for a double… ‘It was a tough situation,’ Cain said, ‘Loud crowd…’”

Same situation in Atlanta, the ball is caught. Why? Cause their “crowd” are all at home, posting on Talking Chop. Dopes.

That and if you watch Top Gear, you realize how shitty, apart from the ‘vette ZR1, American muscle cars are. 400HP means jack shit if the over or understeer puts you into a tree. And don’t get me started on traction control.

Well, I can’t argue with that logic. Nice story about the scarecrow, btw.

Bozo

Oh well, time to feel dirty by rooting for a Dodger’s walk off against Brian Wilson

No way Reds give up NL Central. They win that.
NL West is three team race and I think the team in first has the smallest chance of winning it.
Rockies are surging and Giants would be 2 GB of SD after this.

So say Giants take over the West sometime soon and force COL and STL to fight for the WC (while SD still slides)…

The Cards are sliding to .500 Phillies-in-July style, and Colorado will get aprox. 4 RBIs/gm from CarGo, making it a fight between Colorado and the 2nd place team in the NL East, and perhaps SD if they decide they still want a spot in October that they were handed over a month ago.

So take your pick from PHI/COL/SD or ATL/COL/SD.

is there a bigger ***** and bigger POS in all of baseball than Broxton??? what a ****ing woman he is.

MLB needs to step in and suspend that corpse managing the Dodgers. he obviously doesnt care about winning anymore. god damn I hate him even more now

only the corpse could have a guy be 4-4 in saves since being given the role, giving up just 1 hit in that time (in closing situations) and then decide, ahhh, screw it, lets just let that guy set up tonight and put a washed up fatass former closer in there.

this is some blatant throwing of a game if I’ve ever seen it.

I am disgusted by this

The Mennonite Turtle

Tell us how you really feel.

Mike P

@Ithaca

I think you’re right that the team we’re worried about comes from the West, but I’m not all that convinced that the Giants will overtake the Padres. Lincecum has been struggling, and while the Giants are 2 behind the Padres, they’re only .500 since the start of August. I think the Padres will get it back together and retain the division lead.

Don’t get me wrong. The Rox or Cards could both make a run, but right now, they’re both 6.5 back and the Giants are in a better position to challenge the Phils (or, for that matter, the Braves).

The Jewish Tortoise

Oy, what a comeback this Philadelphia team is achieving! I felt I needed to get all verklempt about missing the postseason, but I was mistaken!
